/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I'd sage and ignore

no your diseased

hmm probably would say 'where the fuck id my umineko?"

I'd have told you that you're crazy.

I wouldn't have believed you.

Now how about you predict what will happen a year from now?

>>4568856
> Sengoku Rance
FUCK YOU NAMEFAG

> MangaGamer would have partnerships
> partnership with NitroPlus
SAGE HAAAAAAAAAARD

I would have laughed at you, and you probably would have linked to this now and laughed at me.

Now someone make predictions about this year.

Predictions thread?

I predict this time next year still no one will be working on Kimi ga Nozomu Eien

Report it because there were already a thousand threads about said shit.
Reported.

Otome Function. Next year.

>A bunch of shit got translated, a bunch of shit planned for the future.
Sounds about right

>>4568856
Apathetic.

>>4568938
Reported for ban evasion.

What the fuck that's how the translated this scene?
I always thought the english version of this famous line was "Lolicon is a disease!"
I feel like I'd seen that phrase translated that way before the actual game Cross Channel got translated...

>>4568908

Muv Luv, Swan Song, Majikoi, Little Busters, Sekai de Ichiban Dame na Koi

>>4568950
Even if that were true it was for 1 day, it's already past.

Wasn't there something like this earlier, before Amaterasu announced MuvLuv as their next project?

I remember "At the end of year Extra and Unlimited will be done, with Alternative half finished"

>>4569064
It was already pretty much confirmed that they would do it, so it was more 'what to expect'

>>4569083
Hmm. There was bunch of other stuff too, enough that OP guy had to break his post into two seperate ones.

>>4569104
it's difficult to find it on easymodo
I remember that KGNE wouldn't still have a project

>Kimi ga Nozomu Eien will be the only game with an EGS score above a 90 at the end of the year to have neither a finished translation of active translation.

>>4569149
I still think that Saya no Uta won't be released by JAST, it's money loss
about the rest, they are likely, though I hope the air part is wrong

And still nothing worth playing has been released.

I always wondered, who the fuck actually buys VNs? How are these companies still in business?

>>4569216
I bought Kira Kira.

I'd say

"when will Sumaga come out?"

And now I would be crying, because it never will.

>>4569229
Well, translation is at over 70%. I imagine it will be finished before end of the year, and after that it's just waiting for JAST to announce it after Demonbane and Jingai releases.

I wonder how is Baldr Sky translation going, there's an active project, but the guy is doing his secret project

>>4569247
So, 2043?

>>4569216
What do you consider good?
What sort of elitist could think Sharin no Kuni, Cross Channel, Symphonic Rain or Sengoku Rance aren't worth playing?

>>4568856

>Dear Drops will be out in English within 6 weeks of it's release in Japan.

I wish, but it's obviously not going to happen. I'm sure we'll get it this year though.

>Air will not be released.

;_;

>>4568856
The only think I care about on the list is Sengoku Rance, so I wouldn't care much.

>I always wondered, who the fuck actually buys VNs? How are these companies still in business?

I'd say that for every three I pirate, I buy one.

>>4569324
>I always wondered, who the fuck actually buys VNs? How are these companies still in business?
If it had been proofread and with an actual CD and case, I'd have bought higurashi from MG

>I always wondered, who the fuck actually buys VNs? How are these companies still in business?

>>4569291
Tell me about it ;-;

>>4569290
That would be awesome, I'm really looking forward to it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-vkjdSoM2o
For everyone else anticipating.

>>4569216
I heard somewhere that there's a VN market of a few hundred thousand people in Japan. As for MG and Jast? Idiots. Same people who pay $600 commissions for sex romps.

>>4569380
Only a few hundred thousand huh?

Surprising that it stays afloat.

I've been playing through the demo. It's pretty okay.

>>4569389
Why? It doesn't cost that much to develop a VN as compared to other things.

>>4569391
Is it as similar to Kira Kira as it looks?

>>4569416
I assume so. Except I like the art more, and I wish the protag just played violin in the band instead of guitar. Not enough violin in rock.

>>4569416
>>4569470

Yes, the first 30 minutes are almost exactly like Kira Kira, except that they flesh out Shoichi better than Shikanosuke, which is good.

And the art is top tier. As I said in the other thread, these designs would convince me to buy anything.

i would have saged your precognitive prowess.

>>4569492
yeah the CG looks like it will be highly fappable. Princess Waltz was one that surprised me with its H scenes because I didn't expect them to turn me on as much as they did.

>>4569470
The art has certainly improved, changing artist was a wise decision. Not like I hated Shinji Katakura, but this is much better.

>>4569521
>>4569492
Some guy named Fujimaru right? I've been trying to find a site or something for him but I've come up with nothing.

>>4569541
Yeah, the new artist is called Fujimaru. I don't know whether he has a site or not though.

I'm curious about who's going to voice Rimu. She's awesome.

>>4569626
Demo doesn't have voice?

Also hnnnngggh the more I see the art. More screens plz.

>>4569642

THIS IS SPARTAAA

>>4569642
You can download the demo from Overdrive's site but yeah, it's not voiced.

>>4569626
>>4569492
Damn, why do all the girls have such huge breasts?

>>4569679
Riho's are not that big.

Art for this game looks much better.

>>4569699
She's so fucking hot. I'll bet she's wild in bed.

>>4568878
This time next year:
All VN translations are dropped as Equality Now convinces the world that any drawn pornography is a terribly crime against women, and also The Children.
Mechanical Hounds seek out and punish those who read Visual novels.
It becomes completely normal, however to watch TV showing ordinary plain vanilla sex with stupidly-large breasted women.

Hhhhhnnnngggggggg

>>4569750
>Mechanical Hounds seek out and punish those who read Visual novels.

I think you're confusing reading VNs with time travel.

>>4569744
That seems to be the case.

My monkey ears ;_;

>>4569776
OH GOD OH GOD I CAME

MAI WAIFU DO NOT STEAL

>>4569786
You'll get over it. Everyone else has.

>>4569779
>>4569754
She is lovely and makes me think of Serizawa every time I see her, which is even better.

>>4569776
Fucking censorship, I can't fap to this.

>>4569772
I was referencing the world of Fahrenheit 451, I don't see where time travel comes into it.

>>4569824
There's only pics from the site and screencaps from the demo for now, you'll have to wait till the game's out to fap. Also, it will be fun when the english version is released and thousands of japanese download it to get their uncensored CGs.

>>4569818

>>4569850

> it will be fun when the english version is released and thousands of japanese download it to get their uncensored CGs

I imagine MG would be pretty happy with this.

>>4569878
Fuckin loved Crows Zero.

>>4569850
But of course. That's how it always goes.

>>4569850
Aaaaah fuck she's too cute, I get the feeling she's gonna be my favorite.

>>4569878
I'd rather have the cute little girl than the gang leader.

>>4569924
I think this time it will be even more evident, being the first time a VN is released in english so soon after the japanese release.

>>4569936


If you like Kirari you'll like her. They're both retarded.

>>4569924
You will never cum in Chie-nee's mouth ;_;

>>4569956
Kirari isn't retarded, she's just a free spirit.

>>4569936
>>4569924

Drummer girls are always the best.

>>4569971
More stamina. Better lovers.

Anyone knows when that Curtain call in english will be out?

>>4569995
No date yet. Hopefully soon.

>>4569995


Curtain Call is crap. Eden Fantasia is superior.

>>4570006
Shouldn't it be out before Deardrops?

>>4570016

If there are no pushbacks, Deardrops will be released this April. It's safe to say we're not going to see the english version until the last quarter of this year at least. Hopefully sooner if they pull a Kira Kira.

>>4570016
There's no telling, really.

>>4570013
Of course. It gives side characters routes instead of introducing a bunch of new bullshit characters and continuing off the worst heroine's path.

>>4570032
Fucking April.
Will all the titles that are coming out at the end of this month, it's safe to say I won't play this game till summer or something.

>>4570032
Is it worth trying out Edelweiss Eiden Fantasia while I wait?

Heard it's shit.

>>4570089

Both routes in the fandisk are awesome comedy gold. But it's a fandisk for a game that is mediocre at best, so yeah.

>>4570089
Did you like Edelweiss?

Did you wish Rin and Sakura had routes?

If co, you'll probably like it.

>>4569995
I heard end of march?

Threads like these.

MG lists Curtain Call as available by march 20.

If only there was a route for Shikanosuke's imouto...

>>4570214
>Curtain Call

what's new?

>>4570196
That seems sort of nonsensical to say.

>>4570225
New story with new characters. Set after Kirari true end, but with elements of the other routes mixed in as well.

>>4570306
thank you

>>4570214
Unfortunately there's not. She's too pure for it.

>>4570306

CC is actually two short stories. One about the new band that's following d2b on the school festival, with only one route and H scene, and another about Murakami's band, with no H at all.

>>4570387
>one H scene
>no H at all
What's the fucking point of even having it other than to boost the rating up to 18+?

>>4570404

I told ya, it sucks.

>>4570433
I'm just baffled as to why they would only include ONE H-scene, and in a fandisk at that.

>>4570452

I haven't played CC, but honestly I don't really care that much. The H-scenes in KiraKira weren't very good anyway.

I still enjoyed the game though.

Since the best girl in the fandisk has no route, we need a fandisk of the fandisk.

>>4570533
I don't care about the scene itself, really. It's just that having a single H-scene feels like it was a cheap way to make the game get an 18+ rating.

>>4570605
No, fuck that. I want my Chie-nee fandisk.

>>4570693

Fucked your waifu.

>>4570809
NO.

I mean a sequel to her route. They leave it pretty open for one, and she's popular enough for it.

>>4570850

I too felt it was a bit unfair that only Kirari's endings let us have a glimpse into their future... And Shikanosuke turns out like shit in both.

>>4570850

You'll never have a fandisk where Chie loves you, and only you.

Enjoy burnt girl, and your passionate hearts.

>>4570910
KiraKira.

Kirari.

Wonder who the main heroine was supposed to be? I agree though, why even give the other girls routes if you're going to half-ass them?

>>4570809
>>4570972
Get out poker devs

I still want my band-route, not a single one of the routes satisfied me.

>>4571044
I don't see how they were half-assed when Chie's was better than either of Kirari's.

>>4570972
How can you be so sure? Anything is possible. Hell, two Edelweiss side characters got their own routes because of their popularity. Surely Chie can get her own fandisk.

>>4571287
Half-assed in a sense that it just kind of ends without any sort of proper conclusion.

>>4571346
Kirari's true end wasn't really any better at that. In fact, her normal end was pretty much the only one which offered some kind of final conclusion.

>>4571485
Still better than ROCK AND ROLL *fadeout*

>>4571074

What was that? Sorry, I was fucking Chie.

>>4571952

Chie and Shikanosuke were going steady, got themselves into the university of their choice, all that was left as resolution was her father situation.

If you want to complain, be buttangry over Sarina's ending.

>>4572099

More like too busy being gay.

>>4572159
I don't care about Sarina though.

>>4572216

People care about the sick bitch?

>>4571952
At least her ending had the graduation gig, which was pretty nice. And there wasn't much left to conclude, so it wasn't the worst by far. Only bad thing about Chie's route was that green haired bitch. Made me skip way more of her route than I wanted to.

>>4572249
My favourite character, thanks
Chie was okay though I didn't like her and oh my god I hated Kirari

>>4572249


Fuck you, Sarina is a good girl. She deserved better.

>>4572375
But... she always loved you...

>>4572476

Chie's confession is downright awesome. Her route would be shit if not for that.

>>4572476

But then I came along.

>>4572476
And I didn't like her
For kirari I didn't even go for her true end, dumb bitch stays dead

>>4572520
Fuck, don't tell me he's with her in Curtain Call. FUCK.

>>4572562

I actually really don't know.

>>4572512
I will have to concur. She had the best romance scenes hands down.

>>4572562

Nope. It takes over where Kirari's true end left. He's playing in a band overseas.

>>4572537
You're just being tsundere.

>>4572755

You know, she was really stubborn.

She liked you since childhood, liked you even when you stopped talking to her, and liked you even when you had a girlfriend.

>>4572755
>>4572785
Didn't like her, end to it
From the three girls I prefered Sarina because I liked her, she was nice, sweet, had the goffamn mobile scene and also she's ill, shich makes me care for her
Chie is fine, but couldn't like her

>>4572785
A girl can't help her feelings.

Plus, your old girlfriend never really liked you anyway.

In other news, just finished the demo. All I can say is the full version can't come soon enough.

>>4572880

Guy in the hat.

He seems like a true bro.

>>4572865
How about you give some reasons other than just "I didn't like her". You're seriously the first and only person I've seen that had this opinion.

>>4572914

He's pretty awesome. He's not fitting the token goofy large male friend that Overdrive games had so far.

>>4572971

So true bro material?

>>4572931
Ok, the part about the childhood friend was okay, typical and usually in every VN
Her character was nice, tsundere and whatsoever
She was fine as a character, but I couldn't really 'connect' with her, that easy, I just couldn't like her, I don't know the reason, for example, I didn't like Kirari, I hated her, her character, her backstory, her completely annoying voice... with Chie is more of I don't know, but I don't like her, she was fine, but really not my type

>>4573118
Whatever.

I personally found her to be the only heroine that made any logical sense as a love interest.

>>4573296
same. chie-nee for life.

ROCK AND ROLL

People can say what they want about Kirari, but she was a little hottie.

>>4573734
She started a fire in my pants.

Enough Kirari fire puns. How about some sickness puns for Sarina?

>>4572880
Can you hump the girl with pink hair and chinese eye brows?

>>4574586

Yes.

You can hump them all except the bro in the hat.

>>4574655
Well there better be a harem route this time.

>>4574655

Fuck that shit then

>>4574701

There will be a gay route instead of a harem route.

>>4574586
All 3 as well as your red-headed bit-titted childhood friend.

Harem endings are always shit. I'd rather have a satisfying conclusion with mai waifu.

Harem is the cancer killing VNs

>>4574739

oh god, what are their names? I want to know the name of mai waifu

>>4574739
>your red-headed bit-titted childhood friend.
Now I'm interested.

>>4574871
http://www.over-drive.jp/project/deardrops/cha_syouichi.html

>>4574839
harem endings are great, everyone is happy. When the protag ends up with only one girl i feel sad because the others are left alone and go off to fuck other guys.
>>4574871
Pink: Yayoi
Blue short: Rimu
Blue long: Riho
Red head childhood friend: Kanade

I like the protag. He reminds me of me except he plays violin and is probably charming ;(

>>4572880
Top left it a total fucking slut, who dominates you.

I love her already.

The blue-haired girl is alright but the rest look ... not so good* , so definitely not an improvement over former Overdrive works

* EYEBROE IS NOT A FETISH STUPIDS

>>4574966
I barely even notice her eyebrows. I eventually stopped noticing Suzushiro's massive eyebrows too and instead just saw a kinky petite lass.

>>4574966

Go back to >>4564939

>>4574966
I think you're wrong.

Shoichi is a playa. Nice to see devs steering away from bland looking MCs. Which reminds me we will never see this translated

He looks like a complete retard or to be more precise like a illiterate mac user completely with artsy-fartsy look&feel and I bet he would even call himself an audiophile

Geez they should just stick to the old and proven formula, and by the way the mc from KK was a pretty coal guy

>>4575114
I know... it sucks. I have a better chance getting the remaining 1700 kanji out of the way than FH does of getting translated.

Why doesn't Age jump the bandwagon and get on their asses to bring their products to english masses? There's clearly a demand.
